Tap to open
Metapod is one of those quietly charming cards that reminds you Pokemon TCG has always had room for the in-between stages, not just the flashy final evolutions. This particular Metapod, card #11 from the Japanese Expansion Pack set released in 2023, is a Common illustrated by Tika Matsuno, and if you are trying to pin down Metapod value, the short answer is that it sits at $11 raw, which feels about right for a common from a modern Japanese set. It is not a chase card by any means, but for collectors building out the set or just fond of Metapod, it is a nice little piece to own.

The collector's take on Metapod
Is Metapod worth grading?
So is Metapod worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw copy sits around $11, a Grade 9 jumps to $115, and a PSA 10 commands $600, which works out to roughly 53.2 times the raw price. That is a real gap, and it is easy to look at that multiplier and think grading is a no brainer. But remember that gem mint 10s are hard to land, especially on a common where centering and edge wear sneak up on you more than people expect, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time eat into any profit if the card comes back a 9 or lower. If you already have a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, sending it in could pay off nicely. If it is a middling copy, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.
How rare is Metapod?
Metapod carries a Common rarity tag, which tells you it was never meant to be scarce in the way a secret rare or alt art would be. Commons from modern Japanese sets like Expansion Pack print in healthy numbers, so raw copies are not hard to track down. Where things tighten up is at the top end, since pulling a genuinely gem mint copy that survives grading with sharp corners and clean centering is a different challenge entirely, and that is really what drives the jump from $11 raw all the way to $600 for a PSA 10.
Where can you pull Metapod?
This is where PackSpy's own data earns its keep, because we track real pulls happening across live pack sites rather than relying on guesswork. We have recorded Metapod pulled 51 times so far, showing up across tilt-rips, mnstr, and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $47. It has turned up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pack 1, Pokémon Pro Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and The Amazing Chase Encore, so if you are hoping to pull one yourself rather than buy it outright, those are the kinds of packs where it has actually appeared. Just keep in mind that opening packs is a gamble by nature, and most rips do not turn a profit, so chase Metapod because you like the card, not because the math promises a payout.
Questions people ask
How much is Metapod worth?+
A raw or ungraded Metapod from the Japanese Expansion Pack set is valued around $11. It is a Common card, so that price reflects steady demand rather than scarcity, and it is a solid grab for anyone completing the set.
Is Metapod worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. Grading can take Metapod from $11 raw up to $115 at Grade 9 or $600 as a PSA 10, but hitting that gem mint grade is not guaranteed, and grading fees plus wait times are worth weighing before you send one in.
How much is a PSA 10 Metapod worth?+
A PSA 10 Metapod is valued at $600, which is about 53.2 times the raw price of $11. That gap shows just how much a perfect grade matters for this card, even as a common.
